Propose a change

Children and Young Persons Act 1969

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

26 Transfers between England or Wales and the Channel Islands or Isle of Man.

(1) The Secretary of State may by order designate for the purposes of this section an order of any description which— (a) a court in the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands is authorised to make by the law for the time being in force in that country; and (b) provides for the committal to the care of a public authority of a person who has not attained the age of eighteen; and (c) appears to the Secretary of State to be of the same nature as a care order other than an interim order or as a youth rehabilitation order imposing a local authority residence requirement ; and in this section “relevant order” means an order of a description for the time being so designated and “the relevant authority”, in relation to a relevant order, means the authority in the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands to whose care the person to whom the order relates is, under the law of that country, committed by the order and ”care order” means an order made under section 31 of the Children Act 1989.. (2) The Secretary of State may authorise a local authority to receive into their care any person named in the authorisation who is the subject of a relevant order; and while such an authorisation is in force in respect of any person he shall, subject to the following subsection be deemed to be the subject of a care order placing the child in the care of a named local authority or, where the relevant order was made as a criminal disposal in criminal proceedings, a youth rehabilitation order imposing a local authority residence requirement with a requirement that the child be accommodated by a designated local authority. (4) An authorisation given to a local authority under this section shall cease to have effect when— (a) the local authority is informed by the Secretary of State that he has revoked it; or (b) the relevant order to which the authorisation relates ceases to have effect by the effluxion of time under the law of the place where the order was made or the local authority is informed by the relevant authority that the order has been discharged under that law; or (c) the person to whom the relevant order relates is again received into the care of the relevant authority; and if a local authority having by virtue of this section the care of a person to whom a relevant order relates is requested by the relevant authority to make arrangements for him to be received again into the care of the relevant authority, it shall be the duty of the local authority to comply with the request.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
